Back from vacation at the beach with my family…shall I get "you need to gain 20lbs" tattooed on my forehead so I can see it EVERY day?? I know they mean well and want to me to be healthy…but I long for the day (and honestly I though it would actually occur on this vacation) that SOMEONE in my fam would say "wow, you look good. I can tell you have been working out hard". while there, I was having a little trouble with my upper back and asked my dad to massage my shoulders for a sec to try and work the knots out…as he helped me I directed him to the muscle where the biggest knot was, and he says (now, I adore my father so I am not saying by any means that he is a big ogre…) "there is no muscle back there, you are all bones!!" I hang my head and walk out wondering wtf I am trying to do…Yes, I know I am too thin for many people’s tastes, and that’s fine (I get reminded now and then with random comments) but it’s not like I am sitting on my ass, doing nothing but starving myself. At least I have squashed the notion that I am anorexic, they saw how much I eat…so I guess that’s good. So, time to pick myself up and dust myself off…

Families do that.. especially with your low bodyfat. Sometimes they do that just so you will look "normal". But when you look normal it makes you whine and complain about your weight like everyone else in America!
You look great! I hope I can look like that after kids!

Sometimes family can cut you the worse. FYI, you look fabulous. Keep working hard. They will come around.

i think you look great, i love your avi! it’s hard being over weight or even under weight. i realize that as overweight people struggle, so do really thin people! i think its about being happy w/ you and doing the best you can regardless to what everyone says. you know. my family can say, oh dont lose anymore weight. you’ll be a bag of bones or..damn heather, you look like you gained a little. so you’re damned if you do and you’re damned if you dont. might as weel just sit back and be happy!
